It is the 1920s, and the world is in a state of confusion following WWI. During this time, you and your friends find yourselves amongst mysterious events. You are surrounded by strange figures, letters with unreadable texts, as well as sudden appearances of being unknown. By relying on your connections, you set out to investigate these incidents. Unknown to you are the frightful truths that lie in wait ahead of you...
Lovecraft Letter is a card game that combines the Love Letter system with the world of H.P. Lovecraft. In addition to the standard sixteen cards in the Love Letter game are new versions of the cards that include special "insanity" powers. If you have one of these cards in your discard pile, then you are insane (at least for the current round) and on future turns can play insanity cards for their regular power or their special power, giving you more options during play. The risk, however, is that you must undergo a sanity check at the start of each of your turns, drawing as many cards from the deck as the number of insanity cards in front of you; draw one or more insanity cards, and you're out for the round.
If you win the game, whether by being the last person standing or the player with the highest single card after the deck runs out, you win a token colored to reflect whether you were sane or insane. Win enough tokens of the right type, and you win the game. Cthluhu can also help you win the game if you release it at the right time...

• FoxMind has signed Sam-goo and Evan Song's tile-laying, waterpark-creating Slide Blast — which debuted at SPIEL 2016 from Mandoo Games — for release in North America in Q2 2017. We recorded a video overview of the game at that convention should you care to see the game in action.
• Jonathan Chaffer's Stroop, coming in June 2017 from Grand Gamers Guild, is named after John Ridley Stroop, who first wrote about the interference that people encounter when reading color words (e.g., black) printed in a color that doesn't match the word itself (black). Players get a hand of cards, each showing a single word with 3-6 letters in one of several colors (white, red, blue, and yellow), sizes (big and little), and styles (hollow and solid). In the first round, everyone simultaneously tries to play a card from their hand that matches what's described on the central card on the table, with this card constantly changing of course. In the second round, you can play a card that describes the central card, with everyone trying to dump their cards as quickly as possible.
